Anti-Muslim posters found on 3 buildings, utility pole at UT



Posters criticizing immigrants, minorities and Muslims were discovered Monday on three buildings and at least one utility pole at the University of Texas.

One of the posters, on a pole along San Jacinto Boulevard just north of 23rd Street, implored people to “imagine a Muslim-free America.” A graduate student in history photographed it and posted the photo on Twitter, adding the question “Hate speech or free speech?”

UT spokesman J.B. Bird said university staff members discovered posters on the outside of the Student Activity Center, the College of Liberal Arts and the Sanchez Building. He said they contained “political messages” aimed at immigrants, minorities and Muslims.

“The signs, some of which were affixed with adhesive, are in the process of being removed. They’re very hard to get off,” Bird said.
